Pilate said to Him, “Are You a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”
By Mary Meile
Are you a child of the truth? Who is speaking and whispering in your ear? Is it the voice of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords? The Lord Jesus Christ said in the scripture above that everyone who is of the truth hears my voice. A voice that declares the very essence of God the Father, the holy trinity; three person's. It is a voice that cries out to the rest of the world, "I know that there is a living God! He speaks to me, leads me, guides me, and loves me. I trust in him, not myself or man." The truth resounds with righteousness, justice, love, peace, and joy! The word of God states in 1 John 2:27: But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

We come to know the reality of this truth in our individual lives once we have the Spirit of the living God abiding inside of us. The Holy Spirit speaks and teaches all truth as there is no lie found in him. The Holy Spirit is the one that convicts us of sin, righteousness, and judgment. The Holy Spirit helps us to walk in obedience to God and also to lead us along the right path. He comforts us. We become strengthened in our faith and in the knowledge that there is a God that is worthy to be praised, glorified, and deserves our reverence for who he is, the Great and mighty I Am. We begin to see that we have come into this world for a cause/purpose, just as Jesus said. There is a divine destiny, life purpose, on all of our lives and we need to stop listening to the Father of Lies and tune in to the Father of Truth. The time is NOW to take action.
I pray that you are seeking out the truth and not accepting a life of lies and deception. Satan, the father of lies, whispers the opposite of truth. His whispers sound like this:
- You are so much better than that person, look at you, you have everything to offer and they are nothing compared to you;
- You have to think of yourself first before anyone else, after all, no one else will take care of you;
- Leave your marriage, dump your spouse and kids, you do not need them, they are dragging you down and keeping you from excelling in life, you can do better on your own;
- You need some stimulation and pleasure in your life. Just a few minutes searching porn sites, you are not hurting anyone, after all it is good to have self pleasure, you are not getting it from your mate, it is okay, just one more time, live again;
- You don't want to keep that fetus that you are carrying; after all it will burden you down more, you can not afford to take care of yourself now, what kind of life can you have if you go through with this pregnancy;
- You do not have to put up with that person in authority over you, you do not have to listen to them, do it your way and if they don't like it, walk out and quit your job, you do not need them. Walk in rebellion.
- You do not need to help out those in need, those that ask to borrow money from you, after all, they should be working or managing their money better, what do they think that you are the bank, blow them off, someone else will help them;
- You are not good enough, not attractive, not smart enough, you will never amount to anything, why try. What are you thinking, look at yourself, you do not have a chance.
The list can go on and on, depending upon our life circumstances and beliefs. I want you to get an idea as to what kind of lies are being spoken. Every moment that we allow the enemy of lies to whisper in our ears we are setting the stage for destruction to reign over us. Take a stand now, rebuke each lie that tries to enter into your mind and call upon the faithful one that has the power to change you and your circumstances. Pray now, ask the Father in Jesus name: change me, remove these strongholds over my mind and life that are devouring and not life giving, set me free in accordance to your word. John 8:36: So if the Son sets you free, you will indeed be free.One of the most powerful things that you can do is to speak forth the word of God and declare the truth that he says about who you are in Christ Jesus. For example, the word of God says:
- I am a precious child of God and he loves me!
- I was wonderfully and fearfully made in my mothers womb for a purpose.
- I have a divine purpose and calling on my life as a child of God.
- I am a royal priesthood, co-heir with Christ Jesus.
- God abides in me and I abide in him.
- I am a child of light and truth, led by the Holy Spirit that teaches me all things.
- I am the head and not the tail. So get under my feet devil.
- Jesus has given me all power and authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the powers of the enemy (Satan) and nothing shall harm me.
